Playing a key role in helping Dumoulin win the 2017 Giro d'Italia: “Those three weeks were extremely hard, with a lot of heavy climbs. There were some critical moments where all the capacities of a helper were needed to turn things back around, but the hard work completely paid off the moment that we cheered together as a team on the podium in Milan.”

2018 outlook

“I add value to the team by supporting my teammates, so that they can ride for a good result. The appreciation I get from my team for doing my job is enormous. With our team spirit, we’ve shown we can achieve things we only could dream of a few years ago.”

Career aspirations

"I hope to continue working with this team in building on what we have achieved over the past few seasons, and playing my part in helping us be successful."
